Super job with your tanka, Ginda! And you're right that something about physical touch that is healing more than words at times when words are not enough. Best wishes in the contest!

Very moving and descriptive, and expressive of the comfort and reassurance of a gentle touch when one is in great pain. Beautifully expressed. Best wishes for the contest.

Awesome entry. Poetic devices include alliteration with 'wind' 'words' and 'wound'.
Also inner rhyme with 'ease' and 'bleeds'. Consonance with the ending 'L' sound in
heal' and 'feel'.

A beautiful touching Tanka that appeals to the reader's emotions.
Yes sometimes a loving touch says much more than words, and can heal
the broken heart.
Good luck in the contest.

Your milestone post is a tender tribute to the bond you share with your husband. It's string and enduring - despite whatever challenges you both face. More power to you.

This Tanka is full of emotion. The final line is an interesting and sensitive metaphor. I'm glad you entered this for the contest, as well as your NaPoWriMo collection. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings. Carol

Sometimes there's only one who can help to heal wounds.

'Your touch so gentle
is all that I need to heal,
to ease my sorrow
when words spoken fail to reach
the open wound that bleeds tears.'

Beautiful words.

This will probably be the last one I review for you. I review one for one, and you have not been reviewing me. I recently posted to a contest, and I found out that some contest entries do not go to the mailboxes of my fans. You must go to my profile page. I have been here 8 months and just found this out. The poem is lovely. The picture blends well.

    Contest entries do not go to fan mailboxes if it is a blind entry. This is explained in the contest rules.
